Title: Statistics blows
Post by: primushead on Sep 22, 2005, 06:44 PM
So I'm studying for a stats exam tomorrow, and I realized that stats sucks.  It's the biggest crock of bullshit in the world.  I need to start a band and tour.  Can anyone else offer any insight as to why stats may or may not be useful?

3 out of 5 people find statistics useful.  Of the 2 that don't, 80% of those polled were not sure why.

You hate studying it! I have to teach it - to people who just want to get on with saving mankind. Now that's a struggle.

I kinda like it myself, but I'm a bit of a geek in that area.

Good luck with the exam  :D
